"My mother-in-law, what are you talking about?"
Sikong Qianrong raised his eyes and looked at Ye Shunan.
Ye Shunan smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Concubine Hui also buried in the imperial mausoleum?"
Of course, the burnt ashes in the imperial mausoleum are unknown, and it is not the real concubine Hui anyway, but it is enough.
Although this saying is not entirely true, money can make things go smoothly, but with money in hand, things are always much easier to handle.
Although people who are jealous of money cannot be trusted very much, they can be of great help at critical times, such as the eunuchs or maids who serve the emperor.
Qingcheng Se, founded by Ye Shunan, mainly sells rouge and gouache.
Since its opening, the business has been booming day by day.
Most of the noble ladies from the capital often come to visit.
Even the concubines in the palace heard about it and sent their maids out to buy it.
Naturally, there are people who can be bribed among these palace maids.
Regardless of whether they can help in the future, Ye Shunan always asks people to give them some benefits so that they are prepared.
What Ye Shunan had to do was to have people around the emperor constantly remind him that Concubine Hui was once his most beloved concubine, and Sikong Qianrong was the only son that woman left for him.
What she was betting on was that in the emperor's heart, Concubine Hui's position was different from that of other concubines in the palace.
In the end, she won the bet.
In the third month of spring, the emperor led a huge team to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors, and the only prince with him was Sikong Qianrong.
It was from this day that Sikong Qianrong truly came out of the darkness and joined the battle between Prince Gong and Prince Jing to seize the throne.
At the same time, the ministers in the court were awakened.
It turned out that besides Prince Gong and Prince Jing, there was another powerful contender for the throne.
From then on, the emperor seemed to suddenly realize that he had treated his son too harshly in the past, and allowed him to join the government like Prince Gong and Prince Jing, and even often entrusted him with important tasks.
Although Sikong Qianrong was not like Prince Gong and Prince Jing, who had been immersed in the court for many years and had deep roots, but with his own humility and talent, he gradually established some prestige in the court.
This was what Ye Shunan had expected.
If Sikong Qianrong himself had no ability to govern, it would be useless no matter how much he helped him.
At the same time, the Prime Minister's attitude seemed to be somewhat relaxed.
Because she stayed too late at Prince Yi's Mansion yesterday, Ye Shunan got up much later than usual.
The maid who came in to serve handed over the wet handkerchief and chuckled: "The prince has been here for a long time and is waiting in the girl's study.
The prince heard that the girl is still here When he fell asleep, he said there was no need to wake the girl up, he would just wait. " There was clearly an ambiguous tease in the maid's tone.
Now almost everyone in the capital knew about Sikong Zhanbai and Ye Shunan, and because Ye Shunan often went in and out of Prince Dan's mansion during the time when Prince Dan was seriously ill, everyone was thinking about this.
Getting married should be a matter of time.
Ye Shunan hasn't thought about getting married yet, but Sikong Zhanbai feels that it should be done sooner rather than later.
Especially since she and Sikong Qianrong have often met recently, Sikong Zhanbai, who has always been confident, is worried about gains and losses.
Opening the door and entering the study, Sikong Zhanbai was standing in front of the window holding a book and reading.
Seeing Ye Shunan come in, he gently put the book back to its place.
Sikong Zhanbai smiled and glanced at the books spread out by Ye Shunan on the table, "You have been reading military books recently, why are you going to fight?"
Ye Shunan walked to the desk and opened a book casually, "This battle will be fought sooner or later."
Yuezhao Kingdom in the southern border, Taifu Kingdom in the western region, Fengyu Kingdom in the north, and Haoze Kingdom is in the east of this continent.
The four countries are adjacent to each other, and it is impossible to live in peace and stability for a long time.
Moreover, King Jing has already married a princess from Yuezhao Kingdom.
If there is no hope for the throne in the future, there is no guarantee that he will not use the military strength of Yuezhao Kingdom to gain momentum and drain the fire from under the cauldron.
Therefore, this battle will be fought sooner or later.
Sikong Zhanbai walked up to Ye Shunan, took the book away from her hand, looked down at her, and chuckled: "Before the war, should we get married?"
Ye Shunan stared blankly at Sikong Zhanbai without saying anything for a long time.
She always thought that Sikong Zhanbai's talk about getting married was just a joke, because she had only known him for a few months.
Although Ye Shunan had no doubt about Sikong Zhanbai's sincerity towards her, the speed was indeed a bit too fast for her.
Moreover, she had another layer of worry at this time.

"Now is not a good time.
The emperor's matter regarding Concubine Hui" Ye Shunan said hesitantly, but Sikong Zhanbai understood.
Some days ago, in order for Sikong Qianrong to go with the emperor to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors, she bribed people in the palace to keep the emperor thinking of Concubine Hui.
At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that day, the emperor said that Shu'er looked like Concubine Hui and that he had the idea of including her in the harem.
Although he later gave up, it was indeed not a good time to mention his marriage to Shu'er to the emperor at this time. .
Sikong Zhanbai frowned slightly and said in a calm tone: "I heard that you stayed at Prince Yi's Mansion yesterday and didn't come back until midnight."
Ye Shunan responded: "Yes."
"You two alone" Ye Shunan nodded.
"Oh, I think the marriage between King Yi and the daughter of the Yao family should be arranged more quickly."
Since my marriage to Shu'er is not possible for the time being, it would be good to arrange for someone else's marriage to happen.
Ye Shunan chuckled, "His Royal Highness, are you sure you are not seeking revenge?"
He thought on his knees and knew why their Royal Highness was so awkward today.
He did stay too late in Prince Yi's Mansion yesterday.
"Hasn't he always wanted to marry Yao Sixue?
Then I will help him."
Hearing Sikong Zhanbai say this, Ye Shunan suppressed the smile on his face.
She thought of that gentle and graceful woman who did not hesitate to defy her father's orders and hold on to her own will.
But in the end, all of this was Sikong Qianrong's careful design.
If one day in the future, she knew the truth of the matter.
Hopefully, she will never know this cruel truth.
"What's wrong, you don't want Sikong Qianrong and Yao Sixue to get married?"
Sikong Zhanbai said, staring at Ye Shunan's unsmiling face.
"I hope it's of no use."
Ye Shunan sighed, then chuckled and raised his hand to touch his handsome face, saying: "I tasted the new tea you asked Zeng Hong to send yesterday, and it tastes very good.
"That tea is probably not owned by the people, it is probably a tribute from Ouchi.
"It's a pity that I don't have anyone here who is as good at making tea as King Yi."
These words have a slightly sour taste.
Ye Shunan thought to herself that if Sikong Zhanbai's appearance at this moment was seen by others, he would definitely not be able to believe what he saw with his eyes.
He looked childish at this moment.
She smiled, stood up slightly on her tiptoes, and kissed Sikong Zhanbai's side face gently, then quickly stepped away, with moving aura in her eyes, and said: "I'll make tea for the prince, how about":
